VIDEO: Mark Davis Should Be Banned From Oakland for Comments Before Final Raiders Home Game
If Sunday's heartbreaking loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars wasn't enough to infuriate Oakland Raiders fans, wait until they see this. Before the opening kickoff, team owner Mark Davis was asked about his feelings ahead of the FINAL game ever played in Oakland before the franchise's long-anticipated move to Las Vegas. Well, Davis sure opened up his heart...not.
You have got to be kidding here. After all the history this team has, the wins, the Super Bowls, the glory, this is the reaction of the franchise owner? Whenever a team packs up its bags and moves to a new city, it leaves a giant hole for the former town.
Just ask fans of the San Diego Chargers, St. Louis Rams, and the NBA's Seattle Supersonics. For Davis to be so nonchalant and just dust off the final home game like it's nothing is a total joke.
No, scratch that, intensify it: it's downright offensive to the Oakland faithful who have supported this team from the start.
What was supposed to be a beautiful final day for the Raiders and their fans became a complete disgrace. The good people of Oakland deserve better than Mark Davis. Period.
